^ee the working of this law of psychological deve*
lopment even in the growth of the Thensophica!
Movement This must be so in every movement
but we will take the Theosophical Society as
an illustration. Madame Blavatsky evidently
gave stability to this movement and her 'Secret
Doctrine' remains the foundation of the whole
Theosophical structure of later years. Col. Olcott
took the Theosophical Society through its activity
gtage with the able assistance of Dr Besant
Dr. Besant when she became the President of
the Theosophical Society raised the TheJSOphical
movement to its emotional level. During this
phage, the marvellous personality of Dr< Besant
did wonders. The rank and file of this
movement showed singular loyalty to her and the
Theosophical Society reached a splendid height.
Dr. Arundale's mission is &ummed up in his
watchwords: Freedom and Friendship* Individual
freedom within the general object of Brother-
hood, for which the Theosophical Society
Stands, is the present phase of this great
international movement* The great impetus
given to scientific corroborations of Theosophy
is also a reflection of this stage*
